Application filed February 2'7, 1906- Serial No. 303,176-

lb on whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERrcK QOAKLEY, asubject of the King of Great Britaln, residing at 107 High street,Holywood, County Down, Ireland, have invented a certain new and usefulImproved Slip for Pillows, Bolsters, and Cushions, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to slips or cases for pillows, bolsters, andcushions.

Under my invention I make the slip open at one side and I attach to bothsides of the opening a number of bands. Preferably in the case of apillow-slip I have three or four bands. If there are fourbands, two ofthem would be attached to one side 01' the opening and two of them tothe other side, and the bands are carried across to the opposite side ofthe slip or case and secured at the interior thereof. The bands beingmerelyfastened at their ends can be made to pass over and under thepillow or bolster, when it is inserted in the opening of the case, so asto hold it firmly in position within the case. Two of the bands may bepassed under the pillow or bolster and two over.

In order that my said invention may be properly understood, I havehereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawin s, which shows by wayof example a pillow-sIi as made in accordance with my invention.

On the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective plan view of the pillow-slipwith the open end turned back to show the interior. Fig. 2 is a verticalsection of the pillow-slip, showing the bands 0 c therein. Fig. 3 1s aperspective sketch showing how the pillow is fitted between the bands.The front part of the case is partially torn away, so as to show thepillow. Fig. 4 is a pers ective View of another form of pillow-case, sowing how the pillow is placed between the bands. A portion of one endof the pillow-case is partially torn away, so as to show the illow. Fig.5 shows a erspective sketch of my invention as applied to abolster-case.

In carrying out my invention I make the slip a open at one side I) forthe insertion of the usual pillow g, and I attach, by means of sewing orthe like, to the interiorv thereof four bands, two ofwhich, c c, aresecured, by means of sewing or the like (Z, to one side f of theopening, while the other two, a c, are secured m a similar manner to theother side f. The inner ends of the bands 0 c c c are also secured bysewing or the like (Z to the bottom of the slip a. By merely fasteningthe bands 0 c c c to the top and bottomof the case a as.

above described the pillow when inserted can be held securely inposition by passing it under the bands 0 and c in the manner shown atFig. 3. The arrangement is such that while the bands 0 c c a hold thepillow securely in lace they also tendto close the opening I) o the casea.

The pillow-case (1, shown at Fig. 4, is made open at each end, and thebands 0 c, of which two are shown, are laced longitudinally of thepillow-case a, and are attached by sewing d to the top and bottom of thepillow-case. The pillow 9 when insertedin the pillow-case a lies underthe band 0 and above the band 0.

The bolster-case a (shown at Fig. 5) is open at each end and is providedwlth two bands 0 c, secured to the ends of the case. by sewing or thelike d. The bolster (not shown in the view) when inserted into its casea lies under the band 0 and above the band 0.

In Figs. 4 and 5 the bands 0 c besides retaining the pillow or bolsterin place in their respective cases tend to close the openings at theends thereof. Any suitable number of bands can be used, andif threebands were used one band would be arranged intermediate of the other twoand be secured to the one side of the case, while the other two would besecured to the opposite side of the case. The pillow, bolster, orcushion is slipped into the case between the internal bands, so'thatsaid bands pass over and under the pillow, bolster, or cushion, as willbe readily apparent to those skilled in this art.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A slip for pillows, bolsters, or cushions, having internal bandssecured at their ends to the top and bottom thereof for the purpose ofretaining the pillow, bolster, or cushion in place when'inserted in theslip, substantially as described.
